Chapter 67 Tao Ji Is on His Way, the Tranquility Pill Is Ready
Due to the influx of refugees in Qingshi Town, the number is increasing every day.
Therefore, Luoyong's second round of military expansion operations.
It's still going on at this time.
It seems that there is a plan to increase the number of troops to 50,000 in this second round of military expansion.
Among them, there are 30,000 regular troops and 20,000 reserve troops.
Of course, becoming a reserve army does not mean that you will be a reserve army for the rest of your life.
As long as your requirements are met, you can be promoted from the reserve army to the regular army.
And some original regular armies may fall from the regular army to the reserve army if they cannot meet the requirements.
In the military, there will be improvement only if there is competition.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
At this time, the scorching sun was high.
Even at the beginning of winter, at noon, when the sun is at its strongest.
People can still feel the bursts of hot breath.
"General, how many days do we need to travel before we can reach the place you mentioned in Qingshi Town?"
Outside Qingshi Town, there is a cracked land, a barren land with few people.
A team with all members wearing armor and looking quite embarrassed.
At this time, he was moving forward quite strenuously.
And the general Tao Ji was wearing bright silver armor and a sword inlaid with precious stones tied around his waist.
At this time, he was riding on a thin, dark horse.
His expression seemed quite leisurely.
"No rush, no rush." Tao Ji glanced at the deputy general beside him. He smiled and touched his beard, which was not too long, and whispered: "We will be there in three days at the earliest and seven days at the latest. You can reach the place called Qingshi Town.”
"And when we get to Qingshi Town, we will have no worries about food and drink!"
"But General" the deputy general hesitated for a moment, and then said: "General, even if we eat one meal a day, we have less than three days of food left."
"On the road, there are very few people."
"If this continues"
"Sooner or later we will starve to death on this road."
The lieutenant's words are true.
In fact, if all those grains were gathered together.
If he can feed Tao Ji alone.
There is quite a lot of food.
However, even though Tao Ji is the leader of this army.
He didn't dare to do this easily.
If everyone has nothing to eat, then that's it.
But if so, the leader hid some food secretly, leaving his soldiers hungry.
That army will mutiny.
Tao Ji knew very well that if he still wanted to live a good life, he would also like to go to Qingshi Town or other remote towns to borrow some food or supplies.
He must firmly control this army under his command.
"What do you think, Lieutenant General, of those lambs waiting to die on the way?"
"Lamb? Where did the lamb come from on the way?"
"Lieutenant, are you sure you didn't see it? Or are you pretending to be confused?"
"General, what do you think?" The deputy general next to Tao Ji widened his eyes.
His face was full of disbelief and unacceptable looks.
"Under desperate circumstances, this is the only way."
"Who would want to do that if they could?"
As Tao Ji spoke, he sighed slightly helplessly.
The deputy general next to him thought about it carefully.
He could only nod silently.
Compared with the threat of death, one's own life is obviously more precious.
Outside Qingshi Town, as the new emperor ascended the throne, fights continued among several princes.
The situation on this land has become increasingly chaotic.
It is located on the side of the Huai River, with sufficient water resources, and in Qingshi Town where the Luo family is located.
At this time, the environment became more and more stable.
After this period of expansion, the area of Qingshi Town is at least nearly twice as large as before.
The new city wall is still under construction.
But it seems to be quite impressive.
Especially the division between the inner city and the outer city makes this Qingshi Town look closer and closer to those prosperous county towns with hundreds of thousands or even nearly one million people.
Qingshi Town, the land of the Luo family.
In a courtyard exuding a quaint atmosphere.
In an open space.
Luo Changfeng, the ancestor of the Luo family, was standing silently near a second-hand furnace with a burning flame at the bottom.
The elixir being refined in the furnace is called Jingxin Dan.
Jingxin Dan has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind.
This kind of elixir is considered to be a slightly more difficult variety among basic elixirs to refine.
It was specially refined for that little guy Luo Qingshan.
As for the Red Flame Pill, since I had directly refined over a hundred of them with one breath before, that would be enough for ten porcelain bottles.
Therefore, the little girl Luo Youwei is not lacking for the time being.
"It should be almost done, right?"
Luo Changfeng waved his hand and used the power of Qi and blood in his body to extinguish the flame under the second-hand alchemy furnace.
He stepped forward and opened the lid that was carrying extremely high temperatures.
Because the power of Qi and blood surrounded his hands.
Therefore, the temperature on the lid cannot burn him.
"Not bad, this Danxiang"
"It must be among the best in the world!"
Luo Changfeng sniffed the fragrance of the pills coming towards him, and looked at the bottom of the second-hand pill furnace, which had more than a dozen dark-colored, little-finger-sized meditation pills.
He nodded with satisfaction.
"Next, just follow this step and refine two or three more furnaces of meditation pills."
As time passed.
After Luo Changfeng finished refining two more furnaces of meditation pills.
He stuffed all the meditation pills into porcelain bottles one after another.
The porcelain bottles were placed on the stone table under the stone pavilion.
And he himself was sitting quietly under a stone pavilion.
He picked up a book called [Introduction to Talismans] on the stone table and started reading it.
After this period of research, he found that his understanding of talismans was getting deeper and deeper.
Offensive talismans, defensive talismans, and auxiliary talismans.
Luo Changfeng had some experience in these three types of talismans.
Among them, he naturally studied the offensive and defensive talismans the most in depth.
As for the auxiliary talismans?
He didn't study them much.
It's not that the auxiliary talismans are useless.
The main reason is that the functions of the auxiliary talismans are too strange.
For example, the rain-seeking talisman
His Qingshi Town is located on the side of the Huai River. Does it need this thing?
Will the Huai River dry up in the future?
For example, the plague talisman
This thing seems to be for various plagues.
However, because it is too harmful to the heaven and earth, it is harmful to the harmony of heaven.
Therefore, this kind of talisman is also one of the hundred forbidden talismans.
Luo Changfeng naturally doesn't want to study it.
There are also a lot of strange and weird things, such as locust plague talismans, locust removal talismans, big sun talismans, cloud-seeking talismans, etc.
Therefore, it is better to use pure offensive and defensive talismans.
